Kat Musical Technologist Member Registered: 12/24/00 Posts: 3764 Loc: Danbury, Connecticut	Fluid???? Dave Karasony and Bill Heller have been in the band since 2000. Scott Breadman played percussion until the 2006 Reunion Tour - Steve Reid returned. Last year, Russ decided to try and give it a go without percussion. The sax chair has been shared by Jeff, Eric and PT - and again, that started with the 2006 Reunion Tour. _________________________ I've Got Jazz...Do You?

Abacos Newbie Registered: 04/22/08 Posts: 28 Loc: Kansas City, MO	Yeah, I didn't mean it in a bad way. I've been following The Rippingtons for 20 years and it's no secret that there have been numerous lineup changes. Things happen.

Kat Musical Technologist Member Registered: 12/24/00 Posts: 3764 Loc: Danbury, Connecticut	I realize that....Thanks Eric. I just can't remember him touring.... because I never saw him. That's why I started my list in 1987... even though Moonlighting came out earlier. But maybe someone from the early gigs remembers... _________________________ I've Got Jazz...Do You?
